Lyric Of The Day – Street Hassle (Lou Reed)

It’s a cover, but I love it…and, well, if I am to make a piece for every track on every Simple Minds album…this must be included, for it is a track on Sparkle In The Rain. Probably should have not used these particular lines, either…but in the context of the song, they hold the most…

Catherine and Jim

I had seen another photo in this sequence in which Jim is kissing Catherine’s cheek, but this one is just as beautiful…if not more beautiful because of the eye contact between them. I love these two people so much. They have both given me some of the most amazing experiences of my life this year….

Minds Music Monday – I Travel 2012 (John Leckie Remix)

For the Warm Digits guys 🙂

Hunter And The Hunted – Vocal Isolation

My favourite bits of this one are Jim’s dour, matter-of-fact delivery of “hunter and the hunted”, and that SUPER low keyboard note that is played after it. Dramatic! Those “life moves so fast” lines are so tender and beautiful though…melt.

Weekend WhirliGIG Wish – Futurama 3, Bingley Hall, Stafford, 1981

September 6th, 1981 – A Sunday gig…and one that Jim was sick at…towards the end of the gig. The organiser in an interview some years later said it was due to Jim’s nerves…but if that had been the case, would that not have happened at the start (Jim being sick, that is)? Either way, I…

Glittering Prize – Full Version – Vocal Isolation

This is a prime example of why (when I read the article) I thought an article I read about Jim not performing a breathy, romantic vocal until Don’t You (Forget About Me) was utter hogwash! Listen to those “catch me a dream / captured all in heart” lines. They are beautiful and tender. “Only on…

In Every Heaven – Vocal Isolation

I might get my arse kicked for this. I will remove it upon request…but…I love hearing Jim’s voice isolated like this. I’ll share one every few days or so. I don’t have ALL New Gold Dream tracks. I couldn’t be done for Colours Fly And Catherine Wheel or Promised You A Miracle, sadly. Anyways, enjoy…
